Dawn of the Planet of the Apes review: A+

I don’t really do grades on reviews, but in coming up with a title for the Dawn of the Planet of the Apes review it is necessary.  The movie is not what I expected and my expectations were very high, but after thinking about it Dawn of the Planet of the Apes exceeded them on every level.  In the end, the movie has as much, if not more in common with combat/war movies than the science fiction that you might expect from the title.

Slugterra: Ghoul From Beyond-new on DVD

Slugterra is weird.  That’s what I thought when I read the premise.  A 15 year old yearns for his father to take him to Slugterra where he can become The Shane, protector of the underworld.  To be clear, that’s the underground world, not the underworld where zombies live.   However, when his father goes missing Eli goes to Slugterra to protect it.  Slugterra: Ghoul From Beyond picks up after Eli has defeated a major bad guy, but things aren’t going so well.

Think Outside the Box at Children’s Museum of Atlanta

If you’re a parent think of Christmas morning or some other time when you child receives gifts that might require big boxes.  After they rip the present open, yell at the gift and then play with it, what do they do?   They play with the box.  The bigger the box the better.  If they can sit in the box or roll their toy cars through that’s awesome too.  Think Outside the Box is the new exhibit at Children’s Museum of Atlanta and is boxes, boxes and more.

Salem Hyde: Big Birthday Bash- classic children’s comic for all ages

Salem Hyde is a young witch who is also a typical six year old girl.  She’s hyper, gets in arguments with friends, daydreams, is forgetful and is constantly kept company by her smart, talking cat Whammy.  Adults will almost certainly be reminded of Calvin & Hobbes when they read Salem Hyde.  It’s infectiously cute and has wit, imagination and smiles on every page.  In that regards it is just like lots of classic cartoon characters.

Godzilla is entertaining fun that leaves you wanting more

You say monsters and some people, a large, vocal portion of them will scream Godzilla.  Having lived in Japan for a couple years I saw some of the old school movies and enjoyed them, but never really understood the cult appeal that the character has.  Hollywood as never really done a good Godzilla movie, until now.  The latest take on Godzilla is the closest to being great yet.  It is a very good, fun summer popcorn movie that audiences 8 and up will enjoy.
